We enjoyed attending the 25th annual International OCD Foundation conference, in Washington, DC! Our clinicians presented on the following to audiences of children, families, sufferers and mental health professionals:

Summer 2018: BTC’s sensory dysregulation expert, Ruth Golomb, LCPC, recently provided training for McLean Hospital’s Anxiety Mastery Program on “Sensory Deregulation and Anxiety Disorders: Diagnosis and Treatment” and was interviewed for the podcast Your Anxious Child: 5 Minute Solutions on the topic of psychological interventions for children with sensory dysregulation.
